FACES CHAOTIC WORLD, SAYS race Debt, Hunger, Hatred, Dis trust Grip thearth, Min ister Tells Sate Conven tion at Closing Meeting. "It's not an encouraging world that confronts the Young Men's Christian association today," de clared Rev. Frank G. Smith, ad dressing the closing meeting of the state convention of the Y. M. C. A. at the association building yesterday "China, Japan, Russia, India, th; countries of Europe are Seething. Our own cotlnry is in the receding thadow of a steel strike that was never settled, a coal strike that leit its had feeling, and is now confront ed with a threatened railroad strike. "Deht and hunger face the worljd. Hatred and distrust are honey combing it. The imaginary col lapse of tb old props of the world, cvilization, education and religion are in the minds of lhe people. Ev erywhere is the idea that our boast ed civilization is not the solid ma hogany we imagined, but simply a thin veneer. "The awakening of depressed mil lions in China, Russia, India is bringing its vast problems. The in tensified idealism of war days which pointed to an ideal world of beauty, peace and happiness is having its reaction in a world that seems to have none of these promised things. "In these times, poise, tolerance, universal education, co-operation and universal service must be thy watchwords of the Y. M. C. A Faith must be restored. Faith is the one thing upon which we can de pend in these times. If nations and individuals have faith in each other many of our perplexing problems will be solved."

One of the features in connection with the formal opening of a day nursery at 2403 St. Marys avenue, by the National League of Women's Service, was the presentation yester day of a pink and white quilt made by the boys and girls of the Fifth A class of Mason school. These children furnished the ma terials and worked the quilt, which shows animal designs enlarged from one-inch patterns and chain-strtched. Thirty small white beds have been given to the nursery, each bed bear ing the name of its donor. Sunday school children of the First Baptist church gave a toy shower. This new nursery will be in charge of Mrs. W. A. Smith, chairman of the league. She will be. assisted by j Miss Jennie Andrews, trained nurse. Members of the J union league will assist every afternoon except Sat urdays. , Children up to 5 years old will be admitted to the nursery, and it will be a rule that the children must be of mothers who go out to day work or of fathers who have children without a mother's care. OMAHA OFFICIALS HAVE NO DIRECt WORD OF A STRIKE Say Their Only Information Comes From Newspapers No Coal Shortage Feared. Spring Is Here, Says C. of C. Man, Who Tells Of Seeing Sure Signs Spring is here! This startling statement was made by Arthur Thomas, manager of the Chamber of Commerce bureau ot publicity, yesterday morning. Wr. A. Ellis, assistant commis sioner of the chamber, overhearing the remark, laughed scornfully. "This is a fine morning to be springing that," he growled, point ing to dark overcast sky and slam ming a window to shut out a cold breeze. "Yet my assertion is true," con tinued Mr. Thomas blithefully, and removed his coat" I have the .proof. As I came to work this morning I not only saw a robin, but a group of small boys playing marbles. And last night I was awakened by the honking of a flock of wild geese flying northward." "You must have been dreaming," retorted Mr. Ellis as he warmed his hands at the nearest radiator.

"Our only sources of 'informa tion are the newspapers," he ex plained. "If a general walkout does occur every place in the country probably will be tied up until the matter is settled. "Fortunately, spring is near and there is little danger of another serious coal shortage." W. H.
